For what it's worth, and I'm not rationalizing, but let's not pretend that treating Hollywood starlets like sides of beef began with fat, pock-marked Harvey. There's a reason why they referred to the sofa in a studio producer's office as the "casting couch".

Selznick, Mayer, and (I would certainly bet) many others who were running studios were all guilty of this abuse going back 100 years. Stories about the abuse of Judy Garland are out there. God knows what the likes of Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, Lana Turner, etc. had to put up with.

I wouldn't be surprised if obese, pock-marked Harvey was simply emulating his heroes.

Fatty Arbuckle crushed some poor little girl to death. I think that's when they outlawed fat leading men.

PR, don’t simplify things to bolster your stance. What we are seeing in this Harvey saga is about as brutal as it gets. And it’s getting worse by the minute. This man was a predator of the worst means, and scary by the way. I have personally felt his wrath of intimidation. I am no fan of his. This coming out is very important.

But what I am saying is that you cannot be silent when men behave the way Trump did on that recording. You cannot be selective about sexual harassment. An unwanted kiss is disgusting too. An unwanted advance when you are married is disgusting too.

Agree on every point, except for the assumptions that what Trump was doing was "unwanted".

Trump's whole conversation was that he could pull that off because he's a rich, powerful man...not that he could do it in an "unwanted" fashion. We all know that there are women who would blow DJT just to say they did.

Trump : "Yeah that's her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."

Trump : "I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it. I did try and fuck her, she was married."

Unknown : "That's huge news there."

Trump : "No, no, Nancy. No this was [inaudible] and I moved on her very heavily in fact I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said I'll show you where they have some nice furniture. I moved on her like a bitch. I couldn't get there and she was married. Then all-of-a-sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look."

"Donald Trump, an American businessman and current President of the United States, has been accused of sexual assault and sexual harassment by at least fifteen women since the 1980s. Three of those women filed lawsuits, which were eventually withdrawn, alleging that they were sexually assaulted by Trump. Additionally one accuser filed a defamation lawsuit in 2017 after Trump called her a liar.[5] In addition to these lawsuits, Trump has also been publicly accused of non-consensual kissing, or non-consensual groping of breasts, buttocks and genitalia, by at least twelve more women."

The liberal whataboutism is unbecoming. The entertainment arm (Hollywood) of the Democratic Party has a massive problem on its hands right now. What's better, the news arm (MSM) of the Democratic Party is being forced to cover it. PR firms must be filled with glee. Dozens of execs, actors, producers and directors have to be terrified their skeletons will be yanked from the closet next.

Trump has said and probably done some vile things. I condemn them and denounce them. For now, he's our president and Harvey Weinstein is fleeing to Europe to live with Roman.

As for Hollywood...I hope this witch hunt brings the fucker to its knees.

Bush : "Your girl's hot as shit. In the purple."

Multiple voices : "Whoah. Yes. Whoah."

Bush : "Yes. The Donald has scored. Whoah my man."

All of that reads, to me, as “I’m a douchebag frat boy who is compelled to talk about my sexual conquests in this unbecoming manner to compensate for my tiny dork”
